Russia's Olympic and world champion Inna Deriglazova will be out to claim glory at her home International Fencing Federation Women's Foil World Cup in Kazan this weekend.

Deriglazova arrives for the competition on home soil having won the individual event at the last World Cup stop in Katowice in January.

The 29-year-old Russian, the world number one, is the top seed at the tournament at the Kazan Gymnastics Centre and will be looking to continue her impressive form.

Deriglazova could face Pauline Ranvier, the French fencer who beat to win the world title in Budapest last year and who is listed among the other entries for the event.
